CHAPTER 20

SASHA

A right old mess of emotions churns within me as I stand in the dim corridor of the hotel Logan picked for us. It was the spur of the moment after the boat ride. The moment of lingering stares and discreet hand-touching on the way to the car. The moment that led us to making this nerve-racking decision. The moment that brought us to this room’s door.

Logan's intense gray eyes bore into mine as if he’s still looking for confirmation that I want this. Bloody hell, I want this more than he can imagine. I’d never been allowed to choose anything in my life. And finally being able to do so… God, it’s a gut-clenching feeling of freedom. Almost as if I'm a kid again, about to snatch a forbidden candy from a high shelf at my aunt’s house back in Piter, knowing full well the consequences if caught.

Fear and anticipation vie for dominance inside me, their dance making my heart race.

"There's no going back, Sasha," Logan warns.

"Going back isn’t what I want," I reply. "Isn’t it time to move forward?"

"Good." With a soft click, he slides the key card into the lock and pushes the door open.

I linger on the threshold before taking a step into the room. Logan follows behind me, shutting the door. Immediately, the world outside fades away, leaving only Logan and me in this unfamiliar space. Space we’re going to mark as our own. At least for tonight. Hopefully.

It's a nice hotel and the room is clean and generously sized from what I can tell in the darkness. I'm grateful we are not doing it in some questionable low-cost place. Not that I thought Logan would go for anything less than classy. He doesn't seem like that kind of man.

My body hums with anticipation, each beat of my heart echoing in my ears like drums calling us to some ancient ritual.

"Are you sure?" Logan asks, his eyes still searching mine for any hint of doubt. He turns on a single lamp in the corner, just enough light to be able to see each other. He stands close enough that I can feel the heat radiating from him, enveloping me in its warmth and its masculine scent. Something common and at the same time rare—musk and suede and maybe a bit of burnt sand because he’s like the desert himself. Once you’re lost in him, you can’t find your way back anymore.

"More than anything," I murmur, the truth of my need resonating deep in me.

The unspoken desire that fills the air between us is an electric charge, connecting our beings, making them one.

"Let me," I say, my voice barely above a whisper as I reach for the hem of Logan's T-shirt. He nods, his eyes never leaving mine as I peel the fabric up and over his head, revealing the intricate network of tattoos that adorn his muscular torso. As the tee falls to the floor, my fingertips trace a tentative path along his fully inked arm, following the lines from his wrist up and over the curve of his shoulder.
